Here is the process for the flanges between the dash, the A-Pillar and the kickpanel. Wood brackets hot-glued to each piece and the connected together with some scrap sheet metal. Did this for most of the interior panels.
Did this in the car so the brackets are in the exact position.
Then pulled it out of the car and put it back together on saw-horses.
Then laminated the flanges, these will connect the parts together with bolts and rivnuts. Interior guy may modify this but that's above my paygrade.

Thank you gents!
Final test fit of the spoiler and bumperette plugs before mold makin'....
First sections with gelcoat and the first layer of glass. Long way to go, best to do only a layer or two, maybe three at one time so curing is more stable. Just time, right??!!

Thank you!
Hope everyone is doing great. All good here, living the good life...7 days a week at a really cool shop with some badass fabricators working around me. I tell them daily that it's not lost on me.....they are working and I am playing. So very thankful for Kenny and his team.
Making progress on the molds, it's just a slow process with curing and making flanges. Tedious but I'm making the spoiler mold pretty stout as there is a decent chance I may need to.... I'm not gonna say it.

John, I have been following your build from the very beginning.
It first got my attention because I have a 70 RS myself.
It has been a true pleasure to see how a real pro fabricator works.
Wow, just fantastic work. Can't wait to see more.
